Run the Application
This section demonstrates how to:
- Run the application in WindowViewer (Runtime)
You have now completed all the objects and animations necessary to visualize the chocolate milk mixing process. You are now ready to complete the last step to breathe life into this application. InTouch uses I/O data to animate your plant process in real time. This application will use simulated data from the Wonderware Training Simulator for an I/O Server. In this module, you will configure the simulator and view your application live in Runtime!
Run the Application
It is time to see your work pay off and watch the chocolate milk mixing process run! InTouch uses WindowViewer for its runtime application. Now that the Wonderware I/O Simulator is running, you will be able to use your Start Button as a toggle to start and stop the process.You will see your valves change color when they are on and off. You will see the color in the storage tank "move" up and down to represent the milk filling and draining. You will also see the Value Display change from ### signs in WindowMaker to live data in WindowViewer.This lab walks you through the steps necessary to switch to Runtime and view your process "live".
Tutorial Summary
Thank you for completing the Chocolate Milk Mixing demonstration. You now have a simulated working InTouch Application! You have a visualization of a Chocolate Milk mixing facility with simulated data. You have been introduced to the basic functionality of InTouch. You have seen how quickly and easily you can complete a working application.
